Snip the mall ninja utility belt.

Those things are layers of webbing and cardboard/plastic. Better and easier to use a seatbelt cutter on any straps you can reach.

I bet tin snips would go right through them

If they see you with tin snips they'll mace you immediately for approaching with a perceived weapon. Seatbelt cutters are compact and not recognizable.
